Rajkumar Hirani

Writers should be respected.

I have a terrible reputation for being nervous.

Every film is a journey.

One must always attempt to make good films, even if you fail it is ok. It is a journey, you have both good and bad days.

I like Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Hrithik Roshan. I would love to work with them all.

I love 'Rang De Basanti.'

The more you succeed, the more you want people to love your efforts.

I would love to make more films.

That's a battle we are always fighting whenever we cut trailers or promos for films. We always wonder how much to say, and every filmmaker wants to say the minimum. You don't want to reveal your film and ruin the viewing experience.

Nagpur was a very small town. There was no exposure to different kinds of films or world cinema. Only Manmohan Desai films.

A lot of my writing and my detailing of scenes are based on my observations of life in Nagpur.

Most biopics are stories of people who achieve something. It's an easier graph, a rags-to-riches story, or wanting something and reaching that. Sanju's life is not actually a case like that.
